Cheese plants may have to give up milk
Dairy policy talks in Wisconsin center on how cheese makers may need to divert more milk to cheese and away from bottle sales if pooling and price incentives favor cheese production. McKinley notes tight supply and that only a fraction of milk goes to bottled products, while Tillison warns not all markets are as tight as 1984. National Cheese Exchange activity in Green Bay remains brisk with recent cheddar sales.
